It increasingly creates major impacts on the environment (via surface sealing, emissions by transport and ecosystem fragmentation); on the social structure of an area (by segregation, lifestyle changes and neglecting urban centres); and on the economy (via distributed production, land prices, and issues of scale). \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eUrban Sprawl in Europe: landscapes, land-use change \u0026amp; policy\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e explains the nature and dynamics of urban sprawl.
